Therapy FAQS

Currently, I am only in-network with CareFirst. However, this may change, so please reach out to me for the most up-to-date information.

I can provide invoices and superbills for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many insurance plans offer reimbursement for out-of-network services, so it's a good idea to contact your insurance provider directly to inquire about the reimbursement percentage for out-of-network providers.

I am Tricare Certified, which means I am a non-network participating provider. As a Tricare Certified provider, the process is streamlined for you:

• You only pay your cost share

• I handle the collection of the remaining amount directly from Tricare

• You do not need to file claims yourself

As a military spouse, I am passionate about supporting military families, and being Tricare Certified helps me serve you better!

Yes, there are several advantages to choosing private pay therapy:

• You can attend as many sessions as needed, allowing for a treatment plan that adjusts to your evolving needs

• You have the freedom to explore various types of therapy without needing a specific diagnosis for coverage

• With private pay, your treatment records stay private and are only seen by you and your therapist, not shared with outside agencies

These benefits contribute to a more personalized and discreet therapeutic experience.

• The fee for an initial intake session is $235

• The fee for a one-hour individual psychotherapy session is $200

• Shorter sessions are available on an as-needed basis, depending on appropriateness

In accordance with Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, individuals without insurance or who choose to utilize private pay will receive a Good Faith Estimate at their initial appointment and upon request.

Payment is due at the time of service, and I currently accept only debit and credit cards.

Please remember to cancel or reschedule appointments at least 24 hours in advance. This helps ensure that your reserved time can be offered to others who may need it. If you arrive late for a session, the time missed will be deducted from your appointment.

A late fee will apply for late cancellations or missed sessions, unless we both agree that the cancellation was due to circumstances beyond your control. Note that health insurance does not cover fees for missed or late-canceled sessions.

Yes, I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Virginia, where my practice is based.

Sessions are held via telehealth, offering the benefits of accessibility, flexibility, and meeting patient preferences. I provide therapy to individuals located anywhere in Virginia through a secure online platform.

After scheduling your intake session, I'll send you an invitation to my secure, HIPAA-compliant online portal. You'll receive a unique link to register. Once you’ve set up and logged into the portal, you can complete all the required forms. It is at this point that I will provide you with the clinical practice policies.
